A HORSE NAMED SKY de Rosanne Parry

Exiled from his band, a young, wild horse must find his way across treacherous terrain to reunite with his family after being captured for the Pony Express. Horn Book calls A HORSE NAMED SKY “engrossing and fast-paced.” This Voice on the Wilderness novel is an enthralling survival story about wild horses, family bonds, and a changing environment.

A HORSE NAMED SKY
by Rosanne Parry
Greenwillow Books, August 2023

Young colt Sky was born with the urge to run. Alongside his band, he moves across the range searching for fresh water and abundant grazing. But humans have begun to encroach on Sky’s homelands. With fewer resources to share, Sky knows that he must leave if his family is to survive. He hopes that one day he’ll be strong and brave enough to return and challenge the stallion to lead the herd.

Being a lone wild horse in a vast landscape is not easy, and things get even more dangerous when Sky is captured and forced to run for the Pony Express. Now, against all odds, Sky must find a way to escape and reunite with his family.

A HORSE NAMED SKY is a stand-alone companion novel to Rosanne Parry’s New York Times bestsellers A Wolf Called Wander and A Whale of the Wild. Chronicling the perils of westward expansion and the grueling Pony Express from the perspective of a wild horse, A HORSE NAMED SKY is a gripping animal survival story about family, courage, trust, leadership, and loyalty. Impeccably researched and illustrated in black-and-white throughout, A Horse Named Sky is an excellent read-aloud for parents and teachers and a wonderful choice for fans of DreamWorks’ Spirit and Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty.

Includes black-and-white illustrations throughout, a map, and extensive back matter about wild horses and their habitats.

A HORSE NAMED SKY is a New York Times bestseller and companion to two other outstanding novels by Roseanne Parry, A Whale of the Wild and A Wolf Called Wander. Parry has an uncanny ability to tell stories from the viewpoint of wild animals that submerses the reader into their worlds. Kids will become wrapped up in the adventure of Sky, a young colt forced to leave his family in order to survive. Parry weaves important environmental themes throughout an emotional story about finding home.

DUCK AND MOOSE de Kirk Reedstrom

Duck and Moose will need to put their differences aside to learn to live with each other and maybe even become friends in this laugh-out-loud early graphic novel series perfect for fans of Narwhal and Jelly and Chick and Brain.

DUCK AND MOOSE
by Kirk Reedstrom
Disney Hyperion, March 2024
(via Kaplan/DeFiore Rights)

Book 1: DUCK MOVES IN!

The first book in a laugh-out-loud early graphic novel series perfect for fans of Narwhal and Jelly! Quiet-loving Moose’s life is turned upside down by free-wheeling Duck. The two will need to put their differences aside if they’re ever going to be neighbors…or friends!

Moose loves peace and quiet, relaxing, living alone, and spring! He can’t wait for the arrival of sun, flowers, and…a new neighbor?! Duck just landed himself a new home. He loves parties, karaoke, and living with—and on—Moose’s head. Moose tries everything he can to send Duck away, but he soon finds that this persistent neighbor might just be the best thing spring could bring.

Book 2: MOOSE BLASTS OFF!

The second book in a laugh-out-loud early graphic novel series perfect for fans of Narwhal and Jelly! Quiet-loving Moose’s life is turned upside down by free-wheeling Duck. The two will need to put their differences aside if they’re ever going to be neighbors…or friends!

Moose loves playing astronaut. Imagining his helmet, his seatbelt, and rocketing off into space are his favorite things to do! One day, Moose invites Duck to play with him. But there’s just one problem—Duck doesn’t know how to use his imagination! Moose teaches him but soon becomes frustrated because Duck doesn’t play astronaut the “right” way. How will these friends learn how to work—and imagine—together?

Filled with zany hijinks and slapstick humor, Kirk Reedstrom’s Duck and Moose series showcases unlikely friendships and the power of compromise.

Kirk Reedstrom has spent most of his adult life surrounded by books—he currently works at a public library, and he used to be a bookseller at Blue Willow, an independent bookstore in Houston, TX. He has led children’s art workshops at The Kimball Museum and interned with William Joyce at the Moonbot Studios. And he mixes all his past experiences with traditional and digital mediums to develop fun-filled characters with a little bit of mayhem. Kirk enjoys creating books that make people laugh.

Originally published in 1964, A ROSE, A BRIDGE, AND A WILD BLACK HORSE is a new edition of a beloved picture book by renowned children’s book author Charlotte Zolotow, reenvisioned by her daughter, celebrated author Crescent Dragonwagon, and illustrated by award–winning artist Julie Morstad.

In addition to editing, she authored over 90 books for young readers, including William’s Doll, which has been in print for over 50 years, and the original version of A ROSE, A BRIDGE, AND A WILD BLACK HORSE, published in 1964 by Harper & Row, which featured a brother and his younger sister.
